When you oppose the shaykh, it’s like the slave who kills himself over a quarrel with his master. ‘Hey, why are you killing yourself over a quarrel?’ He says, ‘So my master will suffer loss.’
SHAMS TABRIZI -
You have to live with the people in hypocrisy for them to stay happy with you.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others. Don’t forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
Remove all the walls and curtains so you can get closer and purely love. Have principles but do not use them to exclude or to judge the others. Stay far from idols, specially from those you made from your own principles. Have a powerful faith, but do not play the powerful.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
The universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyone’s heart; do not look down on weaker than you. One’s sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer; one’s happiness can make the entire world smile.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
SHAMS TABRIZI -

SHAMS TABRIZI -

SHAMS TABRIZI -
There are more fake guides, teachers in the world than stars. The real guide is the one who makes you see your inner beauty, not the one who wants to be admired and followed.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can’t expect from others what you don’t give to yourself.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
Surrendering is not a weakness. At the contrary it is strength. The surrender stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
This world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world.
SHAMS TABRIZI -
Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down’ don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside?
